1.4 DEFINITIONS
The following list of definitions includes terms used in Sections referenced by this Section and are included here for completeness. The definitions contained in this Section may disagree with how terms are defined or used in other documents, including documents referenced by this Section. The definitions included here are the authoritative definitions for this Section and all Sections referenced by this Section.
Definitions including "(BACnet)" after the term are definitions derived from ASHRAE 135.
1.4.1 Alarm Generation
Alarm Generation is the monitoring of a value, comparison of the value to alarm conditions and the creation of an alarm when the conditions set for the alarm are met. Note that this does NOT include delivery of the alarm to the final destination (such as a user interface).
1.4.2 Building Automation and Control Network (BACnet) (BACnet)
The term BACnet is used in two ways. First meaning the BACnet Protocol Standard - the communication requirements as defined by ASHRAE 135 including all annexes and addenda. The second to refer to the overall technology related to the ASHRAE 135 protocol.
1.4.3 BACnet Advanced Application Controller (B-AAC) (BACnet)
A hardware device BTL Listed as a B-AAC, which is required to support BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBBs) for scheduling and alarming, but is not required to support as many BIBBs as a B-BC.
1.4.4 BACnet Application Specific Controller (B-ASC) (BACnet)
A hardware device BTL Listed as a B-ASC, with fewer BIBB requirements than a B-AAC. It is intended for use in a specific application.
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 5
1.4.5 BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) (BACnet)
A hardware device BTL Listed as a B-BC. A general-purpose, field-programmable device capable of carrying out a variety of building automation and control tasks including control and monitoring via direct digital control (DDC) of specific systems and data storage for trend information, time schedules, and alarm data. Like the other BTL Listed controller types (B-AAC, B-ASC etc.) a B-BC device is required to support the server ("B") side of the ReadProperty and WriteProperty services, but unlike the other controller types it is also required to support the client ("A") side of these services. Communication between controllers requires that one of them support the client side and the other support the server side, so a B-BC is often used when communication between controllers is needed.
1.4.6 BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) (BACnet)
A communications device, typically combined with a BACnet router. A BBMD forwards BACnet broadcast messages to BACnet/IP devices and other BBMDs connected to the same BACnet/IP network. Each IP subnet that is part of a BACnet/IP network must have at least one BBMD. Note there are additional restrictions when multiple BBMDs share an IP subnet.
1.4.7 BACnet/IP (BACnet)
An extension of BACnet, Annex J, defines the use of a reserved UDP socket to transmit BACnet messages over IP networks. A BACnet/IP network is a collection of one or more IP subnets that share the same BACnet network number. See also paragraph BACNET BROADCAST MANAGEMENT DEVICE.
1.4.8 BACnet Internetwork (BACnet)
Two or more BACnet networks, connected with BACnet routers. In a BACnet Internetwork, there exists only one message path between devices.
1.4.9 BACnet Interoperability Building Blocks (BIBBs) (BACnet)
A BIBB is a collection of one or more ASHRAE 135 Services intended to define a higher level of interoperability. BIBBs are combined to build the BACnet functional requirements for a device in a specification. Some BIBBs define additional requirements (beyond requiring support for specific services) in order to achieve a level of interoperability. For example, the BIBB DS-V-A (Data Sharing-View-A), which would typically be used by a front-end, not only requires the client to support the ReadProperty Service, but also provides a list of data types (Object / Properties) which the client must be able to interpret and display for the user.
In the BIBB shorthand notation, -A is the client side and -B is the server side.
The following is a list of some BIBBs used by this or referenced Sections:
DS-COV-A Data Sharing-Change of Value (A side)
DS-COV-B Data Sharing-Change of Value (B side)
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 6
The following is a list of some BIBBs used by this or referenced Sections:

1.4.17 Binary
A two-state system where an "ON" condition is represented by a high signal level and an "OFF" condition is represented by a low signal level.
'Digital' is sometimes used interchangeably with 'binary'.
1.4.18 Broadcast
Unlike most messages, which are intended for a specific recipient device, a broadcast message is intended for all devices on the network.
1.4.19 Building Control Network (BCN)
The network connecting all DDC Hardware within a building (or specific group of buildings).
1.4.20 Building Point of Connection (BPOC)
A FPOC for a Building Control System. (This term is being phased out of use in preference for FPOC but is still used in some specifications and criteria. When it was used, it typically referred to a piece of control hardware. The current FPOC definition typically refers instead to IT hardware.)
1.4.21 Commandable
See Overridable.
1.4.22 Commandable Objects (BACnet)
Commandable Objects have a Commandable Property, Priority_Array, and Relinquish_Default Property as defined in ASHRAE 135, Clause 19.2, Command Prioritization.
1.4.23 Configurable
A property, setting, or value is configurable if it can be changed via hardware settings on the device, via the use of engineering software or over the control network from the front end, and is retained through (after) loss of power.
a. In a non-Niagara Framework BACnet system, a property, setting, or value is configurable if it can be changed via one or more of:
(1) via BACnet services (including proprietary BACnet services)
(2) via hardware settings on the device
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 8
b. In a Niagara Framework BACnet system, a property, setting, or value is configurable if it can be changed via one or more of:
(1) via BACnet services (including proprietary BACnet services)
(2) via hardware settings on the device
(3) via the Niagara Framework
Note this is more stringent than the ASHRAE 135 definition.
1.4.24 Control Logic Diagram
A graphical representation of control logic for multiple processes that make up a system.
1.4.25 Device (BACnet)
A Digital Controller that contains a BACnet Device Object and uses BACnet to communicate with other devices.
1.4.26 Device Object (BACnet)
Every BACnet device requires one Device Object, whose properties represent the network visible properties of that device. Every Device Object requires a unique Object Identifier number on the BACnet Internetwork.
This number is often referred to as the device instance or device ID.
1.4.27 Device Profile (BACnet)
A collection of BIBBs determining minimum BACnet capabilities of a device, defined in ASHRAE 135. Standard device profiles include BACnet Advanced Workstations (B-AWS), BACnet Building Controllers (B-BC), BACnet Advanced Application Controllers (B-AAC), BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASC), BACnet Smart Actuator (B-SA), and BACnet Smart Sensor (B-SS).
1.4.28 Digital Controller
An electronic controller, usually with internal programming logic and digital and analog input/output capability, which performs control functions.
1.4.29 Direct Digital Control (DDC)
Digital controllers performing control logic. Usually the controller directly senses physical values, makes control decisions with internal programs, and outputs control signals to directly operate switches, valves, dampers, and motor controllers.
1.4.30 Field Point of Connection (FPOC)
The FPOC is the point of connection between the UMCS IP Network and the field control network (either an IP network, a non-IP network, or a combination of both). The hardware at this location which provides the connection is generally an IT device such as a switch, IP router, or firewall.
In general, the term "FPOC Location" means the place where this connection occurs, and "FPOC Hardware" means the device that provides the connection. Sometimes the term "FPOC" is used to mean either and its actual meaning (i.e. location or hardware) is determined by the context in
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 9 which it is used.
1.4.31 Fox Protocol (Niagara Framework)
The protocol used for communication between components in the Niagara Framework . By default, Fox uses TCP port 1911.
1.4.32 Gateway
A device that translates from one protocol application data format to another. Devices that change only the transport mechanism of the protocol
- "translating" from TP/FT-10 to Ethernet/IP or from BACnet MS/TP to BACnet over IP for example - are not gateways as the underlying data format does not change. Gateways are also called Communications Bridges or Protocol Translators. Some devices contain bith gateway and control functions; these devices are considered both gateways and digital controllers and must meet the requirements for both.
A Niagara Framework Supervisory Gateway is one type of Gateway.
1.4.33 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
A family of local-area-network technologies providing high-speed networking features over various media, typically Cat 5, 5e or Cat 6 twisted pair copper or fiber optic cable.
1.4.34 Internet Protocol (IP, TCP/IP, UDP/IP)
A communication method, the most common use is the World Wide Web. At the lowest level, it is based on Internet Protocol (IP), a method for conveying and routing packets of information over various LAN media. Two common protocols using IP are User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). UDP conveys information to well-known "sockets" without confirmation of receipt. TCP establishes connections, also known as "sessions", which have end-to-end confirmation and guaranteed sequence of delivery.
1.4.35 Input/Output (I/O)
Physical inputs and outputs to and from a device, although the term sometimes describes network or "virtual" inputs or outputs. See also "Points".
1.4.36 I/O Expansion Unit
An I/O expansion unit provides additional point capacity to a digital controller
1.4.37 IP subnet

A DDC Hardware with a display and navigation buttons, and must provide display and adjustment of points as shown on the Points Schedule and as indicated.
1.4.41 MAC Address
Media Access Control address. The physical device address that identifies a device on a Local Area Network.
1.4.42 Multidrop Serial Bus/Token-Passing (MS/TP) (BACnet)
Data link protocol as defined by the BACnet standard. Multiple speeds (data rates) are permitted by the BACnet MS/TP standard.
1.4.43 Monitoring and Control (M&C) Software
The UMCS 'front end' software which performs supervisory functions such as alarm handling, scheduling and data logging and provides a user interface for monitoring the system and configuring these functions.
1.4.44 Network Number (BACnet)
A site-specific number assigned to each network. This network number must be unique throughout the BACnet Internetwork.
1.4.45 Niagara Framework (Niagara Framework)
A set of hardware and software specifications for building and utility control owned by Tridium Inc. and licensed to multiple vendors. The Framework consists of front end (M&C) software, web based clients, field level control hardware, and engineering tools. While the Niagara Framework is not adopted by a recognized standards body and does not use an open licensing model, it is sufficiently well-supported by multiple HVAC vendors to be considered a de-facto Open Standard.
1.4.46 Niagara Framework Supervisory Gateway (Niagara Framework)
DDC Hardware component of the Niagara Framework. A typical Niagara architecture has Niagara specific supervisory gateways at the IP level and other (non-Niagara specific) controllers on field networks (TP/FT-10, MS/TP, etc.) beneath the Niagara supervisory gateways. The Niagara specific controllers function as a gateway between the Niagara framework protocol (Fox) and the field network beneath. These supervisory gateways may also be used as general purpose controllers and also have the capability to provide a web-based user interface.
Note that different vendors refer to this component by different names.
The most common name is "JACE"; other names include (but are not limited to)"EC-BOS", "FX-40", "TMN", "SLX" and "UNC".
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 11
1.4.47 Object (BACnet)

1.4.48 Object Identifier (BACnet)
A grouping of two Object properties: Object Type (e.g. Analog Value, Schedule, etc.) and Object Instance (in this case, a number). Object Identifiers must be unique within a device.
1.4.49 Object Instance (BACnet)
See paragraph OBJECT IDENTIFIER
1.4.50 Object Properties (BACnet)
Attributes of an object. Examples include present value and high limit properties of an analog input object. Properties are defined in ASHRAE 135;
some are optional and some are required. Objects are controlled by reading from and writing to object properties.
1.4.51 Operator Configurable
Operator configurable values are values that can be changed from a single common front end user interface across multiple vendor systems.
For Niagara Framework Systems, a property, setting, or value is Operator Configurable when it is configurable from a Niagara Framework Front End.
For non Niagara-based BACnet systems, a property, setting, or value in a device is Operator Configurable when it is Configurable and is either:
a. a Writable Property of a Standard BACnet Object; or
b. a Property of a Standard BACnet Object that is Writable when
Out_Of_Service is TRUE and Out_Of_Service is Writable.
1.4.52 Overridable (Point)
A point is Overridable if it can be Overriden (See Override).
1.4.53 Override
Changing the value of a point outside of the normal sequence of operation where the change has priority over the sequence and where there is a mechanism for releasing the change such that the point returns to the normal value. Overrides persist until released or overridden at the same or higher priority but are not required to persist through a loss of power.
Overrides are often used by operators to change values, and generally originate at a user interface (workstation or local display panel).
1.4.54 Packaged Equipment
Packaged equipment is a single piece of equipment provided by a manufacturer in a substantially complete and operable condition, where the controls (DDC Hardware) are factory installed, and the equipment is sold and shipped from the manufacturer as a single entity. Disassembly and
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 12 reassembly of a large piece of equipment for shipping does not prevent it from being packaged equipment. Package units may require field installation of remote sensors. Packaged equipment is also called a "packaged unit".
Note industry may use the term "Packaged System" to mean a collection of equipment that is designed to work together where each piece of equipment is packaged equipment and there is a network that connects the equipment together. A "packaged system" of this type is NOT packaged equipment; it is a collection of packaged equipment, and each piece of equipment must individually meet specification requirements.
1.4.55 Packaged Unit
See packaged equipment.
1.4.56 Performance Verification Test (PVT)
The procedure for determining if the installed BAS meets design criteria prior to final acceptance. The PVT is performed after installation, testing, and balancing of mechanical systems. Typically the PVT is performed by the Contractor in the presence of the Government.
1.4.57 Physical Segment (BACnet)
A single contiguous medium to which BACnet devices are attached ( ASHRAE 135
1.4.58 Polling
A device periodically requesting data from another device.
1.4.59 Points
Physical inputs and outputs, and virtual values read from or written to a controller over the the network. See also paragraph INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O).
1.4.60 Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) Control Loop
A closed-loop control algorithm calculating control output based using the error between a process variable and setpoint. The proportional control component adjusts control output based on the current error, the integral component adjusts based on a sum of errors over time, and the derivative component adjusts based on the rate of change of the errors. Not all components are employed in all implementation of a PID loop, and when a component is not used the corresponding letter is generally dropped from the abbreviation used for that control. For example derivative control is often not required for HVAC systems, leaving "PI" control.
1.4.61 Proprietary (BACnet)
Within the context of BACnet, any extension of or addition to object types, properties, PrivateTransfer services, or enumerations specified in ASHRAE 135. Objects with Object_Type values of 128 and above are Proprietary Objects. Properties with Property_Identifier of 512 and above are proprietary Properties.
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 13
1.4.62 Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) (BACnet)
A document, created by the manufacturer of a device, which describes which portions of the BACnet standard may be implemented by a given device.
ASHRAE 135 requires that all ASHRAE 135 devices have a PICS, and also defines a minimum set of information that must be in it. A device as installed for a specific project may not implement everything in its PICS.
1.4.63 Repeater
A device that connects two control network segments and retransmits all information received on one side onto the other.
1.4.64 Router
Generically, a Router is a device that connects two or more networks and controls traffic between them by retransmitting signals received from one network onto another based on the signal destination.
As used in this Section, a Router connects two or more ASHRAE 135 networks and controls traffic between them by retransmitting signals received from one network onto another based on the signal destination. Routers are used to subdivide a BACnet internetwork and to limit network traffic.
1.4.65 Segment
A 'single' section of a control network that contains no repeaters or routers. There is generally a limit on the number of devices on a segment, and this limit is dependent on the topology/media and device type.
1.4.66 Standard BACnet Objects (BACnet)
Objects with Object_Type values below 128 and specifically enumerated in Clause 21 of ASHRAE 135. Objects which are not proprietary. See paragraph PROPRIETARY.
1.4.67 Standard BACnet Properties (BACnet)
Properties with Property_Identifier values below 512 and specifically enumerated in Clause 21 of ASHRAE 135. Properties which are not proprietary. See Proprietary.
1.4.68 Standard BACnet Services (BACnet)
ASHRAE 135 services other than ConfirmedPrivateTransfer or UnconfirmedPrivateTransfer. See paragraph PROPRIETARY.
1.4.69 UMCS
UMCS stands for Utility Monitoring and Control System. The term refers to all components by which a project site monitors, manages, and controls real-time operation of HVAC and other building systems. These components include the UMCS "front-end" and all field building control systems connected to the front-end. The front-end consists of Monitoring and Control Software (user interface software), browser-based user interfaces and network infrastructure.
The network infrastructure (the "UMCS Network"), is an IP network
SECTION 23 09 00 Page 14 connecting multiple building or facility control networks to the Monitoring and Control Software.
1.4.70 UMCS Network
The UMCS Network connects multiple building or facility control networks to the Monitoring and Control Software.
1.4.71 Writable Property (BACnet)
A Property is Writable when it can be changed through the use of one or more of the WriteProperty services defined in ASHRAE 135, Clause 15 regardless of the value of any other Property. Note that in the ASHRAE 135 standard, some Properties may be writable when the Out of Service Property is TRUE; for purposes of this Section, Properties that are only writable when the Out of Service Property is TRUE are not considered to be Writable.
